Hand #202 - Chopped Pot Between Ivan Demidov and Peter Eastgate

[user75032]

Peter Eastgate has the button. He calls the big blind, giving Ivan Demidov the option to check or raise. He decides to check to a flop of {5-Diamonds}

. Eastgate opens the flop action with a bet of 1.25 million after Demidov checks. That bet elicited no fear from Demidov, who raised 2.125 million on top of the initial bet. Eastgate called.

The turn card is the {8-Hearts}

. Demidov checks again. Eastgate seizes on this sign of weakness to bet 4.25 million. Demidov appears deep in thought. His gaze is unfocused, down on the felt in front of him. He gets appreciative whistles from the audience when he announces a raise to 14 million straight. That raise puts Eastgate deep in the tank. He's biting his lower lip and staring down Demidov, his gaze pleading with Demidov, "Show me the way." After sixty seconds, he confidently shoves in enough chips to make the call!

There are more than 30 million chips in the pot when the river comes down {3-Diamonds}
